So you or your family have not left the house for three weeks to get food, to exercise or for any reason whatsoever ? If so, I'm surprised but Thais don't think like that. Even my missus who is fairly savvy still go's out to get food every other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once a week the maid goes get supplies with wife. They look like they're entering a BSL-4 lab. We have our own gym, etc. Pretty comfy. I started prepping in January. I myself was out of the house last time for a 10min trip to get my passport back from the 90d agents, otherwise I've been in since February. But that's pretty normal for me anyway, I had enough of Thailand years ago and am on a slow exit plan. Edited April 18, 2020 by DrTuner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasabi Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 When I shop I wear latex gloves and use my own bag. I noticed 7/11 started using plastic bags again but I don't allow them to put my items in them either. I place the items in my bag. Take out all items and wash them. I place my bag in the sun for at least 24 hours. There are many infectious catch 22's. If you touch those public hand sanitizer bottles to give yourself a dab you may catch the virus from someone else who touched it. When taking your temperature the temperature taker must violate social distance protocols. In a condo touch any public door handle and you might as well be shaking hands with one hundred people. Unless one is in total isolation the level of vigilance required is not likely practiced by most. People who don't have symptoms are either lucky or asymptomatic in most cases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes no sense... those who do not want to risk infection will be wearing masks amongst the "people" until it goes away (like SARS) or there is a vaccine. Not sure how you "gain confidence" unless everyone who has had it is wearing a tag on their forehead The viability of this virus on plastic, metal, paper, etc...has been known since the Chinese Wuhan outbreak months ago.

ToThailand Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Did they figure out that just now? Haha it has been known for long now that we can get the virus if touch a object that someone that already have the virus touched ????♂️. Jeez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, those food deliveries are no safer then eating in a restaurant with proper distancing. How much do you touch the bags your food comes in? Outer bag straight in the bin, Inner bag emptied onto my plate, then into the bin. Now you're gonna complain about how wasteful all the plastic bags are?

"Wearing gloves is a convenient way to minimise contamination and keep our hands clean, but they are only really useful when handwashing is either not possible or insufficient to prevent chemical or biological contamination. And if they are worn, will need to be changed as often as hands need to be washed." So latex gloves will infect you if you touch your face after touching a surface. Easier to just wash your hands - IMO https://theconversation.com/coronavirus-the-danger-of-latex-gloves-134701 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be getting a face shield and continue using my 3-ply surgical masks as I have 1 1/2 boxes still. If I use a mask outside I carry hand sanitizer and use it before touching my mask to remove or adjust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropposurfer Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Good to publicise it. But to me my other response is DEEERRR !!! It's been touted for at least a month or more that Covid 19 is persistent in remaining viable for prolonged periods outside of the body and on all sorts of surfaces (way beyond previously known influenza viruses). I've been washing with soap and hot water all my reusable shopping bags every them I return home from the supermarket. Me thinks more catch-up by the powers that be.

I'm glad you are doing every that is being recommended but your wife and maid are out of the house once a week and whilst mitigating risks can still catch this damned virus. This woman alledges she self-isolated for three weeks which I doubt very very much. I'm pretty sure she popped out for food so how can she be sure she got this from a bag. That was my point.
